Research Paper

A. Background of Study This study covers the determinants of alcohol drinking among OLOPSC students. From the researcher’s observation, alcohol drinking is a big part of college student’s activities nowadays. Some considered it an essential part of celebrations, sharing problems, escaping boredom, or just discussing business matters. Identifying the influential persons and causes why OLOPSC students drink alcoholic beverages will help us understand and relate to their behavior.

B. Statement of the Problem This study examined to identify the determinants of drinking alcoholic beverages among OLOPSC students. Specifically, the study tried to answer the following questions. 1. Why do college students drink alcoholic beverages?

2. Who influences the students to drink alcoholic beverages?

C. Significance of the Study This study was conducted to identify the influential persons and causes of alcohol consumption among OLOPSC students and may serve as reference for future researchers and students. The study may help advisers and school administrators to understand today’s students to be able to relate with them and give accurate advices; that they may understand and help students deal with their personal conflicts associated with drinking that may pose threats to their educational goals and health. For parents, this study may help them gain valuable insights on the influences of alcoholic beverages to their teenagers. So they can establish clear standards for teenage behavior in order to provide possible preventive measures or advice of how to become a responsible drinker.

D. Scope and Limitations of the Study Only OLOPS college students were involved in the study. In reference to Senate Bill No. 2636 “Anti-Underage Drinking Act” that sets minimum legal drinking age at 18 years of age, this study was conducted only for college students ages 18 and above. This study was focused mainly on the determinants of drinking alcoholic beverages among OLOPSC students and did not cover any information or details of domestic violence, crime, sexual abuse, murder, drug abuse and suicide that were associated with alcohol consumption. CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

According to Valbuena (1994), in a survey conducted by the University of the Philippines, sixty percent (60%) or 5.3 million Filipino youths are said to be drinking alcoholic beverages. Regardless of gender that more Filipino youths, or some may be considered as students, are already drinking alcoholic beverages. Valbuena implied in her study that families and friends could be contributory factors why teenagers drink alcohol to wit:

“Teenagers said their family and friends have influenced them to experiment with drinking alcohol. Underscoring the critical role that the family plays in youth behaviors, young people seem to take their cue from their own parents' attitudes and behavior. Thus, a boy who grows up with an alcoholic father is more likely to become one himself”. 1

According to Newbury-birch (2009), relationships in family also play a role. Whilst good family relations work as protective factor, poor relations often lead to increased probability of early initiation with drinking and higher levels of alcohol abuse. Appropriate level of monitoring and support of the adolescent are also connected with reduced consumption.

According to Templin & Martin (1999) Not only are there differences in the drinking habits of students when race is a factor, but there are also differences among students who are religious compared to those who are not. In a study looking at the relationship between commitment to religion and drinking behavior among Catholic college students, Templin and Martin (1999) reported an inverse correlation between the two, especially in the case of women. While the investigation suggested that students who exhibit religiosity drank less when compared to students who are...

...Community and Family Studies – IRP Project Plan
Research Proposal:
The community group that I have decided to work with and research about is Youth (between ages of 15 – 24 years). My research will be based on the issues of concern for youth and assess their impact on overall wellbeing. The issues or concern in which I will include are teen pregnancy and obesity in teenagers.
Justification:
* My reason for choosing Youth as my topic is because I believe in researching what the community is for and against in certain issues that can cause an impact on and overall wellbeing. I chose Teen Pregnancy as one of two issues as it is focused on the age group between 15 and 24. Teen pregnancy has been an issue since the 1900’s and I am interested to see the statistics of how common it is and if it has decreased or increased within the past 50 years. During this research I will also look into how common and the effects obesity in teenagers. Australia has been proven to be the world’s obese country. By researching this chosen topic I believe I can learn a lot from what the community and youth have to say about teen obesity. By sending out surveys and showing the effects of what obesity can do to you. I hope to change the ways of people who are on the verge of obesity as my research will include the effects of what obesity could do to your body and overall wellbeing. Researching these particular issues...

...The research question that I will be investigating is: how do the demands of the college workload affect the sleeping habits of college students? I chose this topic because I feel like it has a direct correlation to my personal experiences, as well as those of my fellow classmates. I often feel as if the demands from my college workload directly affect my ability to get an appropriate amount of sleep, and so I want to research the topic to see if other students share the same experience. I believe that when I have more work that needs to be completed, I have less of an opportunity to sleep during the night. This sentiment has been echoed by many of my classmates and friends, therefore I think that this is a common situation amongst college students. In this paper, I am going to refer to a similar study, as well as propose the most appropriate method to conduct this study, which is through survey. In addition, I will be comparing and contrasting the benefits and the drawbacks of this methodology, along with this study’s relevance to previously existing studies on this topic.
Literature Review
The study entitled “Pathways of sleep, affect, and stress constellations during the ﬁrst year of college: transition difﬁculties of emerging adults” deals with questions relating to “how sleep patterns and daily salient experiences change during the first year, how these changes covariate with affective states and sense of experienced...

...Research is one of the most essential aspects that influence decision makers of many companies. These decisions are based on facts. These facts are verifiable and can be replicated. Good research follows these standards of the scientific method. The characteristics of the scientific method of research are: “1) Purpose clearly defined 2) Research process detailed 3) Research design thoroughly planned 4) High ethical standards applied 5) Limitations frankly revealed 6) Adequate analysis for decision maker’s needs 7) Findings presented unambiguously 8) Conclusions justified 9) Researcher’s experience reflected. Good business research has an inherent value only to the extent that it helps management make better decisions that help achieve organizational goals” (Cooper & Schindler, 2006, p 22-24).
The scientific method is the method for which Analytic Services Incorporated, derived its mission statement, as a public service institute we dedicate our talent and focus our innovation toward shaping the Nation’s future.

Background and Problem Statement
The products and services that are sold in the most favorable prices can be an initial step of the firm in obtaining the trust and be included in the top list of the customers. However, because of the tight competition of various services, particularly in banks, the perception of the customers and potential customers are also divided according to the services that they want to achieve. In addition, the impact of the economic problems and financial crunches among the financial institutions creates a great challenge in the banks. With all the challenges that are ahead on the banks, how will they gather the customer satisfaction which is the same focus of the other competing banking institutions?
Research Aim and Objectives
The aim of the study is to determine the satisfaction on the services and products delivered by the banks towards their customers to attract other potential customer. There are three objectives that can be the guidance of the researcher/s in reaching for their goal and, in also, measuring the impact of customer satisfaction to their effectiveness in the market. First objective is to recognize the various strategies placed by the banks to achieve the customer satisfaction. Second is to determine the extent of those strategies to eliminate or at least minimize the impact of resistance and reluctance of the customers towards the bank’s offered products and services. And third is to discover the...
